The knitting never stops for long here.

I started teaching a class last Sunday on knitting a lace shawl with beads... called "The Budding Shawlette". And I'm knitting one along with my 7 students.

I'm calling mine The Easter Budding Shawl because I intend to wear it for Easter. I'm also nearing the end to the blue sweater. The body is blocking now and then I just have the collar and sleeve caps. I'm itching to get it done.

And speaking of knitting with yarn. Yup, that's what we use in our craft. And we're always either looking for it or being hypnotized by something new and different. So check out the blog A Yarn Tale.

Now isn't that the craziest wrapper?

Can a wrapper entice me to buy the yarn? Am I that easy??[BTW, I don't expect you to answer that]

Love those colors!! Oh, how I wish I was there with you knitting a shawl!! Instead I'm still emptying out my former craft room/office to convert to a nursery. Oh my, the amount of yarn I have stashed.....

About Me

I've developed an obsession for knitting. Aren't I lucky?
There's something nostalgic about knitting, something that ties us to a simpler time. So by choice, I've been stitching forever and ever and ever ...
More about me?
Well I learned to crochet from my great-grandmother when I was 10 years old but put it aside until I turned 19 and learned over again from a co-worker and books. Crochet was my passion for many years after that. I had learned to knit & purl from my mother when I was age 15. But she taught me left handed (I’m right-handed) so I was slow and I then put it aside until I was 23 when I retaught myself from a book to knit right handed and then knit two things for my new born. But once again I thought knitting was slow so I didn’t knit again until only 10 years ago. (I’m an old lady now) I’m serious about my knitting. VERY serious. I guess you could say I’m OBSESSED. So I’m happiest when I’m knitting or needle felting or crocheting! But I have also done cross stitch, embroidery, needle point, hand quilting, and sewing. I guess you could say I’m …. the StitchingNut.
